Hi, I'm using firefox developer edition (52.0a2 (2016-11-21) (64-bit)). Installed Mozilla repo's (deb http://mozilla.debian.net/ experimental firefox-aurora)

I've read that the new versions of firefox, using GTK3+, handle natively touch support, provided you set a env variables, so that's what I tried, and even lauching firefox with;

MOZ_USE_XINPUT2=1 firefox

Firefox don't handle touchscreen, scrolling using touchscreen just select text, as mouse clicked scrolling would do...

I also tried to change "dom.w3c_touch_events.enabled" to 1 in about:config, but it didn't did the trick...

Is there something I'm missing ? I've also tried with the latest nightly builds of firefox but no support either.

Thank you for your help.

Hi

The version of Firefox you have installed is one built by Debian, not Mozilla. I am not suggesting they have done anything wrong, but please can you try with a version from Mozilla from here.

I just tested with a recent binary downloaded from Mozilla, as you said, and I've tried using the env var, setting "dom.w3c_touch_events.enabled" to 1... But no, it still don't work.

May that bug be related with the fact that I don't use xinput driver for my touchscreen, but wacom ?
